With so many pages that I have been editing and uploading I had not gotten round to xwayland to check the download link. You are correct, it is xorg-server-1.15.99.904.tar.bz2 and this will be corrected in my next comitt. As far as testing it is concenred, I have not yet built this book version of gnome. I am finalizing getting the core book up and the conversion to systemd completed. I have now completed putting up the pages, so there should now be no more additional pages. The link for viewing as Bruce pointed out has changed to: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/gnome/ The one in my personal directory was put up before Bruce created the correct script to render the repository. I will be testing wayland etc when I have built this system as per the instructions on the pages that I have put up. I have a number of configure lines yet to change so it is really not ready for people to attempt a build from it yet. I am currently having a major battle with getting the build order page complete. As far as listing systemd as a dependancy as I have now converted the book to systemd, and as I have placed a note in the Introduction to gnome that this book has to be built ontop of a system running systemd I could eliminate those dependencies. I was just trying to emphasize to the end-user that this is a systemd project. Last thing we need is to have people attempt to build it on a non systemd lfs and have the lists flooded with questions as to why it doesn't work. Once I have completed the configure switches and the build order page, I would appreciate it if someone else could also build from the instructions to test things. I have all the logfiles from my working gnome that has the configure switches in them that I am incorporating. When I initially started this was meant to only be gnome, but along the way I changed my mind as I could see that there was no real way to have complete instructions for gnome without also incorporating Armin's notes on systemd. There really were too many packages that needed the notes added to just to leave it. This way, with the seperate repository for blfs-gnome we now also have a systemd version of blfs as well. I have been working on this since the end of May. Along the way I have had to ditch a number of the pages that I wanted to put up as it would really add too much to the book. There are 15 games plus the development packages that are not being included. Well this email has gone on long enough. Now its time for me to return to this battle with the build order page that doesn't like rendering intermittently.
